These are patient-triggered breaths, identified by a drop in pressure before inspiration. In this case, the patient's inspiratory effort persists even after the ventilator cycles to exhalation, leading to immediate triggering of another breath- resulting in a double trigger. This occurs when the patient's neural inspiratory time is longer than the ventilator's set inspiratory time
